Thank you everyone. It's so humbling to hear encouraging word from established reefers.

OH The Yearly Joy Of Changing Out Bulbs.

It's that time of the year again and I know all you LED users are probably laughing out loud. But it's only once a year.

Hey Jim,
Have you tried to buy new VHO bulbs recently?

This year I struggled with finding 60" and 48" atinincs..

VHO's!!! I'm jealous. I miss the look of VHO super actinics. Jim, that last pic with the top open really shows how grown out the tank is. Do you have any plans to remove some corals or do a major trimming?

 

[BuGG]

Wow, super crazy growth! Awesome tank!

I love the look of the VHO's unfortunately they are becoming hard to get. After the new year I plan on doing a lot if trimming and doing some rearranging. I'll probably sell some of the colonies and only keep the pieces that I really like.

I ran out of room too quickly and I get bored when I can't add any new coral.

Thanks Tony. I actually wanted an 8 foot tank but I couldn't fit it into my basement.

 

[Tonyscoots84]

I couldn't make the bend through the door. There is always plenty of space :wink1:

 

[Tonyscoots84]

Well then have a custom builder build the tank in your basement

 

[Jim]

Yeah I probably should have. Hind sight is 20/20
